YGLOBE OR MANTLE PROTECTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 746,460, dated December8, 1903.

Application filed June 29 1903.

T a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES LOUIS CAvA- NAUGH, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of Canton, in the county of Stark and State ofOhio, have invented a new and Improved Globe or Mantle Protector, ofwhich the following is afull, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in protectors for lamp globes orchimneys and incandescent mantles, an object being to provide a devicefor this purpose thatrwill be simple and inexpensive in construction andby means of which a chimney, globe, or mantle when the lamp is not inuse will be fully protected from dust and dirt. l

I will describe a globe and mantle protector embodying my invention andthen point out the novel features in the appended claims..

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a sectional elevation of a pr0- tector embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 is a perspective viewv thereof. Fig. 3 is a sectionalelevation showing a modified form of protector. Fig. 4 is a perspectiveView thereof, and Fig. 5 shows another modification.

Aboard, or light metal.

Referring rst to the example of my improvement shown in Figs. 1 and 2,l-designatos the body portion of the protector, which is slightlytapered, the smaller end being at the top, and this top is closed by acap 2. The

body and cap may be made of any suitable material-such, for instance, aspaper, card- At its upper end the protector is provided with'a hookprojection 3, by means of which it may be suspended when not in use, andat one side it is provided with a handle or finger-piece 4 forconvenience in placing or removing it. Secured to the lower end is adust-guard 5., consisting of yielding material-such, for instance, aspaper. This guard has a portion extended to the inner side of the body,so as to engage against the base of a lamp-chimney or against alamp-burner, and it also has an upwardlyextended portion at the outerside of the body. This guard is made full or in plaits, so that thisclip is a finger-piece l2.

it may be easily passed over a chimney or the like and when in positionwill move inward to engage therewith.

In Figs. 3 and 4 the body consists of two telescopic members 6 7, sothat it may be adjusted in length to a chimney or globe. 4The uppermember 7 consists of an apron of flexible paper or the like attached tothe top 8, and on this top 8 is a suspending-ring 9. The guard l0 inthis example is adjustably connected to the member b., As here shown,this guard is attached to a thin metal band 11, which is passed aroundthe body portion or member 6 and secured by a clip 11%, and on By thisarrangement when the guard becomes torn or Worn out a new onev may beput in its place. The guard is also readily fitted to protectors of allkinds.

In Fig. 5 I have shown the body portion of the protector as adjustablein circumference. The body material l2 has its edges overlapped a`ndsecured by clips 13, which pass through perforations near the endportions, and a plurality of such perforations 14 may be provided atoneend. This protector (shown in Fig. 5) is also provided with a guard.15,also arranged at its lower end.

It Will be understood that any suitable material may be employed in theconstruction of the protector.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. A protector for the purpose described, comprisinga hollow body portion closed at its top, and a dust-guard of flexiblematerial on the lower end thereof, the said guard having IOO I the lowerend of the body portion, the said l for passing respectively around theinner and Io guard having portions for passing respeoouter sides of thebody portion. bivelyaround theinnerandouter sides of the In testimonywhereof I have signed my body portion. name to this specification in thepresence of 4.
